Florida Abortion Bill Could Give Doctors Life In Prison

Florida State Rep. Charles Van Zant wants to ban all abortions in Florida except to save the life of the mother.

House Bill 1151 would create the “Florida for Life Act,” a law that would essentially outlaw all abortions in direct defiance of legal abortion rights in the U.S.

Doctors who don’t follow the bill’s dictates could get life in prison.

The measure also mandates that doctors provide certain women and minors who have been treated by the facility with information regarding adoption and a statewide list of attorneys available to provide volunteer legal services for adoption.” If physicians fail to meet these stipulations or provide abortion services in any other case including rape or incest, they would face maximum penalty of life in prison.
